The story of the Parakeets stained-glass window parallels the public reception of the art of its maker, Louis Comfort Tiffany, who had one of the most recognized names in American art at the turn of the 20th century. It is a story of artistic ambition and experimentation, of nationalist pride and promotion, and of the capricious nature of public opinion and the art market. Gadsden explores the fabrication, imagery, and life of the window, which offers an intimate look into the legacy of Tiffany, as well as the 19th-century revival of the lesser-known medium of stained glass. Nonie Gadsden, Katharine Lane Weems Senior Curator of Decorative Arts and Sculpture, Art of the Americas Tuesday, November 6, 2018
